The four flutists of the German-Chinese Ensemble Tetrachord from Düsseldorf produce much more than just hot air on their GENUIN debut CD. The chamber music pieces, which they have cleverly compiled, have a grounded, feather-light sound. From Friedrich Kuhlau, who does not come across on this CD as an old master at all, but as sparkling and masterly, to the ethereal chords of Mozart's Andante for barrel organ. From the impressionistic sounds of Eugène Bozza to the soundscapes and clusters of Anthony Girard and Manfred Trojahn – all in all, an electrifying discovery!
